Round 1 Recap - Zurich Classic of New Orleans
Hello members,
Man, what low scores today, except my favorite grouping of John Daly and David Duval who shot 3-over. 11-under is the lead shot by the groups of Clark / Hossler and O'Hair / Matthews. 10-under was a popular score shot by five groups. Six groups are 9-under. Tomorrow's round is Foursomes and scores should be a little higher than today. We shall see how the storms effect the mid-day / afternoon.
LIV tees off tomorrow in Australia. Also, the LPGA has their first major of the season this week with Peiyun Chen in the lead and Kelly Norda one shot behind.
Strong performance to start 💪
@Wyndham_Clark and @beauhossler currently lead the field @Zurich_Classic.

Updated Betting Odds
My pre-tournament picks:
Billy Horschel / Sam Burns - +1200 - T14 with an 8-under 64 today. Definitely in the mix.
Si Woo Kim / Tom Kim - +2800 - T43 after their 6-under 66. Going to need to be better tomorrow.
Matt Fitzpatrick / Alex Fitzpatrick - +1200 - T3 after shooting 10-under today. Let's go Fitzys!
